Fighting animal testing

4/8/13

Asian cosmetics (especially Korean and Japanese) have become very popular in Europe and in the US recently. I'm not going to talk about if they're worth the hype or not, since that is not the purpose of this post. In few words : Asian brands tend to cater more for asian skin. For instance, asians are very prone to pigmentation, that's why whitening
products are highly sought after, which is the focus of many asian
brands. In terms of performance, I think you can find good/bad products whether they're Asian/Au/European or US products. It all depends on what the needs of your skin are.

What I'm concerned about:

If you take a look at the ingredients they are pretty much the same thing you find on european/american labels and the list of ingredients is one of the things I look into when I buy a product. I've already made a post on which ones you should look out for when you purchase a product so you can check it out here.Now, to examine all the ingredients one by one isn't convenient at all, so luckily for us there are some websites that serve this purpose.-After some research I found out a website similar to the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep Database and Good Guide for asian products.

If the company you want to purchase from is not listed, what you can do is to email them and ask very specific
questions. Ask if the company tests final product, commissions testing
of product or ingredients, and whether they have 100% clarity from their
suppliers about whether they test or commission.- (animal testing)

I purchased Grape seed oil two weeks ago and so far I'm loving it. It is odorless, easily absorbed and it feels very light on the skin. ...
